but why would you want to go that fast?

Because he is a Kriminal.

Pay what ever it costs you test your top speed at your local track.

Its a lot safer and will prevent you making the news WHEN not if you get busted.

"Yet another Skyline clocking 200km/h"

Its not some thing we really want to hear.

Now that you have reworded the origional post. :cheers:

That really depends on how much power and rev's you have.

I would say 240-250-260km/h is within reach.

My little old VS Commodore 5 speed with a few mild mods used to only 'just' crack 250km/h so no doubt a mild RB25 which makes around 380hp will be able to crack it also. Depends if you run out of rev's.

Do the Math. :D

The standard soft limit is fifth gear at 5000rpm. at that speed you are doing approx 190kph

If you divide by 5000 and then times it by the redline (7200), you get 273.6kph.

Didnt you learn about ratios in school?

The standard soft limit is fifth gear at 5000rpm.

Soft limit? What's that then? Haven't heard that expression before.

so at 8krpm you'd be nudging just over 300km/h? Must try that out!! (Private closed race track of course. :cheers:

You don't even need 250hp to crack 250km/h.

haha.. Come on buddy.. This is a VS 5ltr Slugger Commodore we are talking about. :P

250km/h is a fair speed, most new cars even the ones making 250hp at the fly would be pushed to get 250km/h.

I was actually referring to the bit where you said "no doubt a mild RB25 which makes around 380hp will be able to crack it also."

...and im saying you dont even need 250hp to crack 250km/h (and you dont even need 7,000+ rpm).

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
